Ohhooo I was planning to avoid posting about this anime because I have so many anime to post about this season but here we go xD Episode 1-3 The story is quite ... lukewarm so far, in my opinion. The bear outfit is of course fun to see and people's reaction to Yuna is hilarious. But she can use her powers skillfully and shut them up. She seems likeable as a person and the way she's helping out the kid (forgot her name) is really adorable. Those houses she makes. pfft xD I wanna live in a house like that : Cutting up those beasts look like messy work. I can't blame Yuna for shoving all the work onto others xD But dam. She's so dam overpowered xD At least they showed her practicing and trying out her powers when she first received/unlocked them. I wonder why Kami-sama threw her into this world and it appears that Yuna doesn't have much attachment to the real world. But she has a gramps and parents. And she makes hell lotta money. Does she get money from gaming? Stock market? (those graphs looked like share market updates to me lel). How is her relationship with her family? How was her life before this game? She's a pro gamer, so it'd be great if she recounted some of her past adventures. But I wouldn't exactly mind if we dont' get that. After all this, I still gotta say: I don't really like it too much. Nothing new yet.

So I’m enjoying this show. Maybe I’m just not overloaded on the genre or could really use something fluffy and light but the bears are adorable, Yuna’s personality is great as well. I like the way the story is being presented in terms of the timeline and character perspectives. I wonder what the woman from the merchant guild wants with Yuna... the whole goblin interaction was super amusing to me—how she kept tricking her to call them by the adventurer’s name lol. All in all, I’m enjoying it and looking forward emote.

And.... we’re back to the beginning now in terms of timeline. I love her reaction to the idea of the feudal lord though lol. He wanted to ride the bears *giggle* who can blame him?! They’re adorable!! I’d wanna ride them, too. She’s definitely got a weakness for little sister types. I wonder how she did the healing without adding Bear imagery to it. I guess it was specific enough and she’s powerful enough that she could get away with it. I almost expected that she was going to need to borrow some medical texts in order to pull that off but I guess not. She’s able to hold onto that favor for a while longer yet. I’m sure it’ll come in super handy. She’s going to have the entire town indebted to her in no time flat lol

Oooohh I forgot to post about this Episode 4 Basically all you said, Witch-san. Yuna being able to imagine the source of the disease was a bit surprising because I don't remember her hearing details about what disease it was in the first place. But overpowered protag can have that privilege, I suppose xD I'm kinda glad that she didn't ask for the lord's favor to cure her. Otherwise, it would have been too coincidental. Now we just need to wait until the kids get their new dad xD

Those poor orphans. I’m surprised that Yuna listened and didn’t go to the lord sigh her concerns, if only to punch him. But I guess her desire to DO something outweighed her vengeance desire. At least short term. The plan for the orphans was so smart! I’m glad the lord just admitted he was wrong, solved the Leo Mtn and gave a huge alimony rather than to debate the issue. It was also great the Yuna recognized her immaturity at the end there lovely character lessons. .

Episode 5 Awww the anime is turning social and heartwarming! I felt sad for the orphans. I wish helping orphans sustainably were this easy in real life! Yuna is changing lives!! WeebyWitch I was also surprised that Yuna didn't go meet the lord! But at least the lord looked into the issue and stopped the corruption. Politicians taking advantage of busy leaders who trust them with a task are one of the worst creatures ever.

> Politicians taking advantage of busy leaders who trust them with a task are one of the worst creatures ever. absolutely! But I knew she was going to have chickens be raised from the moment they were introduced in that village lol. I was just looking for the opportunity to arise. And that corrupt guy was drawn as such a stereotype that it’s like—come on, of course he was stealing the money. His entire demeanor said he was only out for himself. I appreciated that the Lord didn’t pass the buck but took responsibility for his lack of oversight in the matter even though the staff tried to give him an out.

Yes! The lord is totally a model leader! Yuna's bears should totally give him a ride. Dude has earned it :

I really thought that Fina was going to say no. It seemed like the kids had rushed the response there so when they said it was getting broken off, I burst out laughing like welp, there you have it. It was rather sad that they didn’t find the flower but the feather was a lovely omen. It wasn’t the most exciting of episodes but the pudding was a great highlight. I wonder what’s going to happen at/on the way to the royal capital?!

weebywitch

Of course they were gonna compete over the bears lol. Kuma are laifu lol. Seriously though—what kind of person is that lord making her out to be?! That’s scary. But... I do commend the young noble for choosing her friends over the comfort of a Kuma house. Not many nobles would do so. She’s got integrity. That mom is hilarious though. And very devious. Poor onnechan. She was a cocky lil thang and had the stuffing knocked right out of her. I’m not sad that happened. Just the shock of the Kuma was a bit much for her at first. And she tried so hard to be decorous when it came to the new foods but failed spectacularly every time. I’m glad that Yuna was able to find all the ingredients she wanted to make so much food. She made me crave stuff just watching her. I need to make my stuffed cheeseburgers. Gotta get some ground beef—I’ve got the goat cheese and sundried tomatoes for it. I need some onions to caramelize. Anyways, maybe she’ll teach people to cook and start that restaurant.

weebywitch

She put potatoes on pizza? I don’t know about her culinary skills anymore... But the youngsters creating a fan club was super cute. Of course the princess fell for Yuna, she’s a kid magnet lol. I love how she tried to cash in on her favor to avoid the king but failed because of Ellalaura’s big mouth lol. Who was listening to her exploits and recounting Cliff’s words like “ohhh now I get it”. She’s crazy strong. I relate to her so much. Like do what you need to do to keep those you care about safe—period.

Episode 8 This episode began a little dark. Totally wasn't expecting that in this show O.O But good to see our overpowered protag using her powers well /o/ > But the youngsters creating a fan club was super cute. When Noire claimed that they'd get 10,000 members and then Gruzam (or whatever) claimed to have 10,000 monsters enslaved, I totally thought that Yuna would win them all over and then those monsters would join the fanclub : too bad she killed them all with cuteness kuma fireball :

She opened a shop! Of course she managed to find people who were great at cooking/baking AND needed her help. How convenient. I love that she roped the mom into managing and she had no choice. The guild leader was like what? lol. The orphans were super excited about the whole endeavor and everyone wanted it to be Kuma related whereas she was picturing something entirely different. Poor Yuna. She really had the king and princess visiting her place for pudding like that shit was normal LOL. The restaurant went over so well that Karen and Miss Morin decided to stay with her even after their loansharking deal was cleared up. How sweet and what a testament to her goodness and influence. The community that she’s built up. All those little bears working were adorable! Fina was so adamant against the shop when she thought of no harvesting work but she really wanted the food. How nice that she gets both now. ^_^

Episode 9 How come we're at episode 9 already? : Yuna and Ryoma are both doing so great with their businesses. Isekaied overpowered characters doing their best to support communities in a novel way x') I loved the bear waiter outfits though. I wanna go to that shop *-* > The orphans were super excited about the whole endeavor I was surprised that they put those kids to work! They are so enthusiastic about it. I guess we have a permanent solution for the town's orphaned children now

> I was surprised that they put those kids to work! They are so enthusiastic about it. I guess we have a permanent solution for the town's orphaned children now child labour laws don’t mean shit around there apparently!! Welcome to feudal/fantasy world times. I want her food again now that there’s no potatoes on the pizza. 🤢

> child labour laws don’t mean shit around there apparently!! Welcome to feudal/fantasy world times. Well, they don't mean shit around in many places in the present-day real world either. I guess the story writer was focusing too much on the cuteness and forgot about how it might appear :
